Leading to:- Finance and Real Estate MSc

Educating future leaders of the real estate profession, our Master's in Finance and Real Estate bridges the gap between undergraduate studies and the workforce. The programme combines the study of two complementary subject areas with leading industry accreditation and professional training to ensure you are industry-ready on a global level. The programme is designed to extend your capabilities in all financial aspects of real estate and property development with a focus on international real estate markets and commercial property valuation and investment.

 This programme holds accreditation from Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), which allows graduates to progress on to the RICS Assessment of Professional Competence (APC). It also runs in parallel with the globally recognised qualification - CFA Level 1, so you have a choice and the opportunity to complete a leading professional qualification as part of your studies. Additionally, the Investment Property Forum has included this programme on its selected list of graduate programmes that they consider to provide the relevant skills necessary for those operating in the property investment market.

In the third term students have a further choice of three options which open up opportunities for a commercial or an international focus of study, either by writing a traditional dissertation, or visiting a range of cities in Asia as part of the Asian Cities course with associated reports based on learning from the trip. (Students will incur the costs of this course plus the travel, accommodation and subsistence for their time in Asia) or, undertaking a work placement in professional practice. Students are responsible for finding their own placement, but staff are there to support and guide students in this.

The University of Aberdeen is a leader in teaching and research in the field of real estate and this programme builds on our considerable strengths in these areas. The Business School is home to The Centre for Real Estate Research (CRER). Since inception in 1995, the CRER has matured into an established and internationally recognised research grouping: it supports members in the development of collaborative research activity and seeks to shape the rapidly emerging international research agenda in real estate. This active and collaborative research community ensures that the course content remains at the forefront of current thinking and gives our students the great advantage of accessing a wealth of powerful data.
